Information on energy and water
consumption: ~ Page 27 The displays provide information about the relative level of energy and water consumption in the selected programmes. The more indicator lights light up, the higher the programme's consumption. This enables you to compare the consumption levels of the different programmes when choosing your programme settings and decide on an energy- and water-saving programme setting.
Energy-saving mode: The display
panel lighting goes out after a few minutes and the A button flashes. Press any button to activate the lighting. Energy-saving mode is not activated if a programme is running.
Automatic switch off: If the
appliance is not operated for a prolonged period, it may automatically switch off before the programme starts and when the programme has ended to save energy. Press the main switch again to switch on the appliance. Switching the ~ Page 43 function on/off

:Warning
Danger of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you touch live components. Do not immerse the Aqua-Stop safety valve in water (it contains an electric valve).
Notes
Only operate the washing machine
using cold mains water.
Do not connect the machine to the
mixer tap of an unpressurised hot­water boiler.
Do not use a used supply hose. Only
use the supply hose supplied or one that was purchased from an authorised specialist retailer.
Do not kink or squash the water
supply hose.
Do not alter (shorten, cut through)
the water supply hose (otherwise its strength is no longer guaranteed).
Only tighten the screw connections
by hand. If the screw connections are tightened too much with a tool (pliers), the thread may become damaged.
When connecting to a 21 mm = ½"
tap, first fit an adapter* with a sealing washer from 21 mm = ½" to
26.4 mm = ¾". *supplied depending on the model
When the tap is open, the water flow rate is at least 8 l/min.
If the water pressure is higher than this, a pressure-reducing valve must be installed.
Connection
Connect the water supply hose to the tap (26.4 mm = ¾") and to the appliance (not necessary for Aqua-Stop models as this is permanently installed):

Water outlet

:Warning
Risk of scalding!
When you are washing at high temperatures, there is a risk of scalding if you come into contact with hot water (e.g. when draining hot water into a washbasin). Do not reach into the hot water.
Caution! Water damage
If the drain hose slips out of the washbasin or the connection point during draining due to high water pressure, any escaping water may cause water damage. Secure the drain hose so that it cannot slip out.
Caution! Damage to the appliance/fabrics
If the end of the drain hose is immersed in the drained water, water may be sucked back into the appliance and may damage the appliance/fabrics. Make sure that:
The plug does not block drainage
from the washbasin.
The end of the drain hose is not
immersed in the drained water.
The water drains away quickly
enough.
Connection
Drainage into a washbasin
Drainage into a siphon
The connection point must be secured using a hose clamp with a diameter of 24 - 40 mm (available from specialist dealers).
Drainage into a plastic pipe with
rubber bushing or into a drainage pit
Note: Do not kink the water drain hose
or put strain on it lengthways.

Levelling

Align the appliance using a spirit level. Incorrect alignment may result in loud
noises, vibrations and machine "movement".
1. Loosen the lock nuts using a WAF17
spanner, by turning it in a clockwise direction.
2. Check the alignment of the washing
machine with a spirit level, and adjust it if necessary. Change the height by turning the appliance feet. All four appliance feet must stand firmly on the ground.
3. The lock nuts on all four appliance
feet must be screwed tightly against the housing using a suitable WAF17 spanner. In doing so, hold the foot tight and do not adjust its height.

a qualified electrician (if this is necessary). Replacement mains cables are available from customer services.
No multiple plugs/couplings or
extension cables are used.
If an earth-leakage circuit breaker is
used, only a type which displays the z symbol is used. Only this symbol guarantees compliance with the currently applicable regulations.
The mains plug can be accessed at
all times. If this is not possible, in order to comply with the relevant safety regulations, a switch (2-pole switch-off) must be built into the permanent installation in accordance with electrical installation regulations.
The mains cable is not kinked,
squashed, altered or cut through.
The mains cable does not come into

Placing laundry into the drum
:Warning
Danger of death!
Items of laundry pretreated with cleaning agents that contain solvents, e.g. stain remover/cleaning solvent, may cause an explosion after being loaded into the washing machine. Hand-rinse these items of laundry thoroughly beforehand.
Notes
Mix items of laundry of varying sizes.
Laundry items of different sizes distribute themselves better during the spin cycle. Individual laundry items may cause an unbalanced load.
Observe the maximum specified
load. Overfilling adversely affects the washing result and promotes creasing.
1. Unfold presorted laundry items and
place them in the drum.
2. Make sure that no items of laundry
are trapped between the door and the rubber seal, and close the door.

Sensors
Automatic load sensing
Depending on the type of fabric and load, the automatic load sensing function optimally adjusts the water consumption and programme duration in each programme.
Unbalanced load detection system
The automatic unbalanced load detection system detects imbalances and ensures even distribution of the laundry by repeatedly starting and stopping drum spinning.
If the laundry is extremely unevenly distributed, the speed is reduced or the spin cycle is not performed for safety reasons.
Note: Place large and small items of
laundry evenly in the drum. ~ Page 38, ~ Page 50
AquaSensor
depending on the model During the rinse cycle, the AquaSensor
checks the degree of turbidity (turbidity is caused by dirt and detergent residue) of the rinsing water. The duration and the number of rinse cycles depend on the turbidity of the water.

:Warning
Danger of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you touch live components. Switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug.
:Warning
Risk of poisoning!
Toxic vapours can be produced by cleaning agents that contain solvents, e.g. cleaning solvent. Do not use cleaning agents that contain solvents.
Caution! Damage to the appliance
Cleaning agents that contain solvents, e.g. cleaning solvent, can damage surfaces and components in the machine. Do not use cleaning agents that contain solvents.
Prevent detergent residue from building up and odours from forming by following these instructions:
Machine housing/control panel
Wipe the housing and the control
panel with a soft, damp cloth.
Remove the detergent residue
immediately.
Do not clean with a water jet.
Drum
Use chlorine-free cleaning agents, do not use steel wool.
If there are odours in the washing machine, or to clean the drum, run the Û Drum clean 90 °C programme without laundry. Add washing powder.
Descaling
Descaling should not be necessary if the detergent is measured out correctly. However, if it is required, follow the manufacturer's instructions for the descaling agent. Suitable descalers can be obtained via our website or from customer services. ~ Page 52
Notes
Ensure the room in which the
washing machine is set up is well
